I, like Andrej Karpathy, became super frustrated by how annoying it was to deploy projects that were previously an absolute joy to make with Claude Code. That is why I made open-passkey, an MIT licensed passkey repo with support for 33 languages and frameworks (examples included) that makes adding simple secure auth to a project easy. We are also releasing gateway (https://gateway.locke.id) a "backendless" hosted auth server that frontend apps can consume for free so that you can ship a React or Angular app using a CDN like Netlify without needing to configure a server at all.

I built Nocaptcha after getting frustrated with traditional CAPTCHAs both as a user and developer. WebAuthn passkeys offered a promising alternative that's both more secure and user-friendly. What makes Nocaptcha different: - Uses WebAuthn standard instead of puzzle-solving - No need for users to remember passwords or solve puzzles - Open source Current limitation: Working with W3C WebAuthn Community Group on true passkey disposal for this use case.

Hey HN, We’re Alex, Land, and Rajit. We’re building Prism (prismai.sh), a tool that helps browser agents authenticate onto websites with user credentials. Developers pass in credentials, Prism logs into a website on their behalf, and hands them back the cookies so they have an authenticated session. Here’s an example of how developers can use Prism to complete username/password flows (https://youtu.be/SEtVUnWnxuE), and here’s an example of how developers can use Prism to complete login flows that require an OTP code (https://youtu.be/fe9w9PvrwH0). We spoke…
